  1. That's great to hear ... I've got a flat of Kent Fast Steel #2's and a flat of Winchester HV's #2's. I'll have to test them out. The best shots I've ever used with my SBEII using the factory chokes were the Fiocchi Steel #2's ... unfortunately the only supplier around here got very ill and had to stop doing business. Nobody in Ontario, Canada I know carries them. Too expensive to import them :(

     

    With these chokes ... what distances are we ranging with D and P?

  3. MbBullet ... I've had my buddy who works in a Tool & Die shop look at it and it definitely is a problem with the metal. It is NOT any buildup. Yes the choke is always screwed in tight, I'm always checking it throughout the hunt. As I mentioned, this choke only has at MOST 30 rounds through it.

     

    What pisses me off most is the fact that Benelli (Stoeger Canada) won't return my calls :mad: and Benelli USA won't do a thing!!!

     

    Yeah I could easily purchase a new choke BUT it's not the point.

  4. It happened to me the first time this year. I have only put 100 rounds (if that!) through my SBEII and it did it while waterfowl hunting but the weather was lousy...rained on and off all day. I don't recall my SBE ever doing it though.

  5. This is F'n ridiculous :mad: ! I've called twice now (Oct 3rd & Oct 23rd) and left a message with Stoeger Canada and I have yet to recieve a phone call back. It's the same guy that never calls back. I always speak to the girl who answers the phone and even she gets angry because he never calls back customers. Benelli USA won't do anything cause I'm in Canada ... what am I suppose to do? :confused:

  6. I've got a Rhino Choke for the SBEII that I bought last April. I've only taken a dozen shots out of it to test the pattern. Absolutely amazing!!! I need to sell that choke because I'm making my SBEI my Turkey gun while my SBEII will be used for waterfowl. If you are interested contact me [email protected]

  7. It's NOT plastic for sure ... you can actually feel a groove that goes into the choke as though it was peeling. If it was plastic build up, it would be more like a bump (build up). You can actually see the metal discolouring where it is peeling. I'm calling them today to get some feedback.

  8. I just finished cleaning my SBEII and I noticed that the inside of my choke looked dirty and this was after I cleaned the barrel. So I took the choke out and after inspecting it, I noticed the inside of the choke is not dirty but peeling like crazy! 30-40% of the finish on the inside has peeled. My SBEII is just a year old since I purchased it new and I have only used this IC choke once this year (less than 30 rounds through it) using steel shot only (BB, 2, 3, & 4's). All other chokes seem to be fine. I'm going to call Stoeger Canada tomorrow and see what they will do. Has anyone else had this problem? I assume it was just a defect in the choke manufacturing process.

  9. What if your camo has a few chip spots ... then would you suggest putting oil to protect those spots from rusting out? My brother bought a new SBEII last September and he babies the thing and it has chips on the barrel.

     

    If he ever had to re-camo the gun, can they apply it over the existing camo?

  10. I'm looking to purchase a Waterfowl choke for my Benelli SBEII ... I was looking at Briley and they have the Briley Crio Plus and the Briley Crio Plus Ported choke for Goose. Is there really any big difference between the 2? Is it worth the extra dollar to get the choke ported? Thanks!

  11. My appologies if this should not be posted in this section.
